I came to Maria, my life coach, in a state of high energy and inner excitement, aware of my professional skills and abilities, yet simultaneously filled with uncertainty and insecurity about what lay ahead in my life, and with a profound need for recognition and acceptance. I described my own intense life as a rollercoaster, taking my feelings and emotions to the extreme and the low, without knowing exactly where I was headed, or if I was going anywhere at all.
We began this breathtaking and exhilarating journey toward awareness—my own self-awareness. With Maria, I learned that I could receive the full recognition of my children, my company, my friends, and my family the moment I truly believed in myself as the valuable woman, the successful professional, and the devoted, honest, and committed mother, sister, girlfriend, and friend that I am—and that this was all connected to my own self-acceptance.
Then the MAGIC began. I started receiving international recognition within my company after my contribution to the restoration of the Angel of Independence and the Palace of Fine Arts was featured on Eastman’s website. I also received a $1,000 award for this achievement, as well as two television interviews and numerous interviews for magazines and publications specializing in painting and architecture, both in Mexico and the United States.
I learned to forgive my parents and myself through techniques and exercises that also allowed me to see the dedicated and disciplined woman I am. Placing my parents in their proper perspective filled me with PEACE and MERCY toward them and myself.
At one point during the coaching process, my spiritual essence took on a dimension I hadn’t previously experienced. Even though I believe in a higher power, during the process it became a unique force that filled me with FAITH and a JOY I had never known.
I am currently in a permanent state of JOY, GRATITUDE, and PEACE. Maria, my life teacher, taught me to believe in myself, to see my potential and let myself flow with life, to give thanks every day, to know that every event holds a lesson for me, and that I am my own creator of opportunities.
Thank you, Maria, thank you, Teacher.
